Vernal Everett Anderson Obituary (1921 - 2007)

“Andy” Andy passed away October 24, 2007. Andy is survived by his wife, Madeline; his brother, Jay; his sister, Norma; his two daughters, DeLynn Shuklian-Anderson of Salt Lake City, Sharon A. Williams of Trinidad, CO; and many nieces and nephews. Andy was a loving father and husband. He always had a joke or a “golden dollar” for people he met along the way. He loved sports—especially skiing, bowling and tennis. He taught elementary school in the Salt Lake District for 33 years. He was the children’s “Pied Piper”. He had a passion for learning and a passion for teaching. He was very proud of taking flying lesions from Vern Carter in a single-engine airplane. Just before his death he said, “I’m not scared of dyin’, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” The family wishes to express thanks to all the staff at St.Mark’s Hospital for their care and kindess. He was loved deeply and will be dearly missed. There will be a graveside service, Saturday, October 27, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. The services will be directly behind the cemetery sextant’s office, 4th Avenue & “N” Street.
